SAM. TOM AND JERRY.


One day I found a toad waiting at my
greenhouse door.
"Well," 1 said, "come in if you want to;
guess you'll pay your way; at any rate
it won't cost much to board you;" he
seemed to understand my words, for in
he hoped, and rested on the walk to look
about him. He must have sent some
word by telephone to his friends Of his
discovery, for only two mornings after
ward, at the very same door, there sat
another toad.
Well" 1 said, "surely this is a COM
mittee on greenhouses, and here is No. 2.
Won't you walk in too?" And, as I pushed
open the door, in he went. The fourth
morning let in No. 3, a monstrous toad.
Once in the house, they showed no desire
to get out, and in few days I began to
be surprised to see what wise little Great
ures they were.
They were just as unlike as three boys
could bel Tom was rather shy and kept
by himself. Jerry was sociable, and soon
followed me all around. Sam was too
large and too old to hop very briskly, and
would spend whole forenoon looking
out Of the window, or climbing along the
rough stone wall that forms one side of
the greenhouse.
I began to teach them to know me, by
making a certain sound, and calling them
by name, as I worked around the plants.
Jerry was the first to make friends. Be-
fore long, wherever might be busy, he
quickly made his way toward me, and
was at once rewarded with worm or slug.
And how cunningly he ate it. He would
pretend at first that he did not see it.;
suddenly he would turn around, and, with
head down, watch it like cat watches a
mouse, each toe twitching. Then sud-
den grab and the worm was in his mouth.
He always had hard time swallowing
it, and, when it was fairly down, he would
give one last gulp Of delight. Pretty
soon they would come when put out my
hand, and at last would climb onto my
hand to get their food. I often filled a
tin dish with slugs and worms, and to see
| the three toads around it eating was very
amusing.
One day in February Jerry acted very
strangely. He kept lifting his legs and
seemed uneasy. I noticed thin Skin
rolled up about the middle Of his back
He put up his right leg and drew it out
of this skin as easy as papa takes off hi'
overcoat, and then did the same with his
left foot. He rolled up the skin, stuffed
it down his throat and swallowed it; anG
there he was with a bright green coat on

other toads did the same.
These toads are dainty little things

Lisps the brook.
On its silvery wayit goes.
Never stopping for repose,
Till it turns the busy mill,
In some nook.

Smiles the flower.
By the wayside, in the field,
All its beauty is revealed
Unto sad and weary hearts,
Though skies lower.

Sings the bird.
And it carols forth song.
Though the cherries day be long,
Bringing to some helpless one
Some sweet word.

And your kindly deeds can make.

Sunshine, love, and happiness
Everywhere!

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that
they are due to the presence OF living
parasites in the lining membrane of the

research, however, has proved this to be
a fact, and the result is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby

by the Thistle as though the latter was

first tack. The steamers crossed her

BRITISH STATISTICS.
Figures Which Show the Condition of the

1t appears from official statistics that
on the first of January in the present
year one person in every thi1ty-four of
the population of England and Wales
was pauper. On that day 922 ,215 per-
sons-men, women and children-were
receiving relief under the present poo I
law, 2O1 ,59S being indoor and G20, SIT out
door paupers, while 100 received both in
door and outdoor relief. OF this large
number more than 10000 were insane,
while about "61 900 were too intirm to be
classed as able-bodied, and 100000 were
children under sixteen wears of age In
1849, however, the figures were much
more appalling. Then, with a much
smaller population, over 100000 per-
sons were relieved The number has
been steadily decreasing since, though
still frightfully large.-Ecchange.

Boiled Milk,

In France, as a rule, milk is never con.
sumed unboiled. In Germany the contrary
is the case. Professor Reichman has deter
mined the relative digestibility of milk in
both these states. Unboiled new milk coagu
lates in the stomach five minutes after it is
swallowed; in the space of four hours it is
completely ,digested. The digestion is pro-
duced not by a ferment, but BY an augmen-
tation of Tactic juice and also of mtriatic
acid. The action of these acids is at it's
maximum seventy-five minutes after the
milk descends into the stomach. Boiled
milk requires two hours and half to be
digested.
